Job Summary
Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowships in the research group of Prof. Xiang Sun. The selected individuals will play a leading role in developing and applying new computational methods for chemical dynamics in the condensed phase and simulation of ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopies. Specifically photoinduced charge and energy transfer dynamics as well as structural dynamics of light-harvesting systems such as organic photovoltaic and luminescent molecules in liquid solutions and disordered condensed phases will be investigated. Classical molecular dynamics mixed quantum-classical semiclassical and path integral approaches will be developed for such systems. Novel dynamical methods will be applied to ultrafast spectroscopies to help reveal important molecular information behind them. More details can be found at at NYU Shanghai is supported by the NYU-ECNU Center for Computational Chemistry a research institute operated jointly by NYU NYU Shanghai and East China Normal University (ECNU). The center has a core group of faculty members who are conducting frontier research in various fields of computational chemistry biology and material sciences. The postdoc fellow will be also affiliated with the center.
